Access

Antenna Gain Antenna Gain is a measure of how effectively an antenna concentrates energy in a given direction compared with a reference antenna. It influences both transmit and receive performance. Hardware Anycast Routing Anycast Routing is a routing approach in which the same address is advertised from multiple locations and traffic is sent to the nearest or best reachable one. Protocol Authentication Authentication is the process of verifying the identity of a user, device, or system. It establishes whether a claimed identity is valid before access is granted. Concept/Framework Authorization Authorization is the process of determining what an authenticated user or system is allowed to access or do. It evaluates permissions after identity has been established. Concept/Framework Availability Availability is the degree to which a system or service is operational and accessible when required. It reflects readiness for use rather than only performance. Operations Backhaul Service Backhaul Service is the transport connection that carries aggregated traffic from access sites, base stations, or remote nodes to the core or aggregation network. Service Model Backhaul Vs Access Backhaul Vs Access is a comparison between the endpoint-facing access segment and the transport segment that carries traffic toward the core. It distinguishes two different network roles. Concept/Framework Backoff Power Backoff Power is the reduction of transmit power below maximum output to improve linearity, reduce distortion, or manage interference. Operations Bandwidth Allocation Bandwidth Allocation is the assignment of available network capacity to users, flows, or services according to policy or demand. It governs how shared capacity is distributed. Operations Base Station A base station is a fixed radio site or node that transmits and receives signals to connect end devices to a wireless or mobile access network. It is the local… Hardware
